While they're at it Disney should rename the "Under the Sea ~ Journey of The Little Mermaid" dark ride to a more succinct title of "Voyage of the Little Mermaid" you know, to avoid confusion.

I found Bourne less interesting then IJA. Having real sets and pyro outside vs a couple props and a giant screen goes a long way

My question is what happened to all the mold they said the building was filled with? Did they fix this?
There was mold, there probably still is some. Not to a level where it is condemned and most of it probably ripped out and cleaned.

It doesn't work unless you put "Adventure" in the title.

must have fixed it or will be fixed as part of the work done - probably part of why this has taken so long and won't be done until next fall
I guess they determined they could remediate it and not have to tear the building down or anything - but there definitely was mold in there

It must be quite an extensive remodel, if it is going to potentially take 12 months. Remember, today is the last day of Fall.

It takes awhile to effectively start up a new show. It’s been gone so long that it basically is new. It’ll have new cast and crew, some new sets and costumes (I presume some will be retained from the prior show, though), new visual effects to program and troubleshoot, etc. It will need lengthy rehearsals once the theater has been fully refurbished.

I have little kids, these things put huge smiles on their faces. Keep walking if it's not for you

The wording states the new show is inspired by the classic animation studios film, so i'm thinking visually things will look more like they do in the original like cartoon fish instead of wonky uncanny valley fish. feel free to cast whomever they like for the people but i think all the visual trappings should resonate from the animated version

Not quite so Grand Ave?

I think the appropriate joke here is "Brand Avenue"

That's fair, I have little kids too, I just think they can do more with the area.

I haven’t seen the new show in person since my kids aged out, but from what I can tell, the old show with all the puppets was more compelling. It was like a live Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Although my back didn’t love sitting on the floor after carrying the kiddos all around the park. But still, Playhouse Disney Live with my toddlers is a core memory for me.

…I thought they were liquidated in Chapter 11?
I don’t understand half of this…but it’s my all time favorite post

My kids were and still are the target age. Main complaint with the puppets were that they were hard to see.
New show is much more popular with my fam.

I won't argue that there needs to be things in the park geared toward kids, but let's not pretend HS is falling short in this category. Runaway Railway, TSM, Alien Swirling Saucers, and Cars are all geared toward a younger demographic (that's nearly half the rides at HS). Add in BatB and the Mermaid show coming soon, that's a lot of a park geared toward children. I don't think it's unfair for some to want the Disney Jr stuff to go.
